Delicious Variety

During my stay at Papillon Lagoon Reef, the food was simply excellent! Each meal offered a variety that exceeded my expectations. The buffet selections were fresh and always well-presented. My absolute favorite was the themed BBQ night, which was not only fun but delicious. The breakfast spread was impressive too, with options ranging from continental to traditional dishes. I never went hungry!

Fun for Kids

As a family traveler, I was delighted to find that Papillon Lagoon Reef had several children's amenities that kept my kids entertained. The large pool was perfect, and the toddler splash area was a hit with my little one. The staff were attentive and made sure my children had a wonderful time swimming and playing around.
